Accident/Incident Investigation Training
Instructor(s): Rick Callor

The E&C Division ES&H Team @ URS has developed an Accident/Incident Investigation course that is designed around the “Why Tree” incident investigation process. Rick Callor, E&C Division ES&H Trainer will be offering the training, which is six hours in length. The Accident Investigation portion of the class will require all attendees to participate in mock Accident Investigation in the classroom. A workbook will be provided for all participants that will cover the basic principles of Accident Investigation, which will be implemented during the exercise. The training will then move to the definition of and how to determine Root Causes of accidents. The final portion of the class will include the introduction to the “Why Tree” technique and the results of the investigation that was completed in the class. Class will then enter findings into the “Why Tree” analysis process. The class will also include the review of numerous incidents where the “Why Tree” analysis has been used. The class will also demonstrate the need for Accident Investigation Kits and there will be a drawing in the classes for a Project Accident Investigation Kit. The objective will be to provide participants the knowledge and ability to investigate everything from a near miss to any incident that might take place on any of our project sites. Training will count toward STS certification or re-certification. Training certificates will also be provided to attendees.
